Dr. Mitra's team carved a "hole in the wall" that separated the NIIT premises from the adjoining slum in Kalkaji, New Delhi. Through this hole, a freely accessible computer was put up for use. This computer proved to be an instant hit among the slum dwellers, especially the children. With no prior experience, the children learnt to use the computer on their own.

THE MORE YOU KNOW, THE SMARTER YOU GROW

                  Reading –let’s face it – is a vital part of learning. When someone thinks of school, reading something – an article, a story, a book, a test question – either pops directly into the conscious mind or flits from the subconscious level, tickling the edges of the conscious train of thought. But why is reading so important? Is it because the better a reader a student is, the easier of a time that student has understanding directions for an assignment; the easier it will be for that student to complete the assigned work; or the easier it will be for that student to complete an essay in any subject area? Actually, those are only parts of why student success depends so hugely upon his or her success in reading. Reading imparts on students a much richer vocabulary than just hearing spoken words can possibly provide. Rarely does a spoken conversation include a description of an angry individual becoming inflamed at a remark, r...

A Move to Save the World

        What will happen in the future? We can't predict it. We can't say we are all prepared for the future. How can we save the world? Can we do it? Today we are struggling to achieve a better future. But with all the problems we are facing, how could we achieve that goal.      I strongly believe that if we want our future to be better then we have to change and stop our attitude, which doesn't help in any way and even makes things worse. Like we always blame our government and it's officials for the problems we are facing now. We can't blame them for every single one. Instead start changing yourself and improve it first. Because before we can change anything or before we can change the world, we should begin in ourselves.       The status of the country or the world depends on the people. So our world will only improve if we ourselves improve. And the change should start within us then it will grow an grow. We need to remove our...

We choose our future

Many people believe that everyone has their own fate. That this fate had been carved at the palm of their hands since then and whatever we do, we can not change this fate. They believed that what we are in the future is just because we are destined to be like that.  For me, I don't believe in that. Why?Because for me when we experience something bad it's the result of what we do. That everything that happened whether it is good or bad are the consequences of what the actions we have done. And there's always a reason for what happened. We decide our future for ourselves. As a student, it is we have a lot of dreams and we are studying hard to make sure that we reach it and have a better future. But some people lose hope. And all I can say that you! Don't give up for your dreams even when everything doesn't seem to work out, never give up. Just think positive always remember that God is always there to guide you. In our life sometimes we fail, even if we wor...
